Holiday Extravaganza : Ideas For Connecting Christ To Holidays
$16.99
Holiday Extravaganza highlights 15 holidays, most of which are not traditionally centered around the Word of God. But, even holidays that find their roots outside of Christian beliefs can be redeemed! Jesus used the things of the world to convey His message, and we can follow that example by taking these celebrations and giving them a new focus.
This book will provide you ideas and activities to share with your kids that incorporate the celebration, but direct them to the Scriptures. April Fool s Day can be a time to talk about Proverbs, what God considers wise and what He considers foolish. Earth Day becomes a time when we learn about bearing fruit in every season and that God is the One to honor on this day. Teach your kids at Halloween how God restores dry bones and gives them life! You ll find multiple ways of connecting Scripture to each of the 15 holidays included.

They Worshiped Him
$9.99In today’s “hurry-up” world, it seems we rarely take the time to think of other people and “walk a mile in the other man’s shoes.” If we did, what would we see? They Worshiped Him revisits the nativity story from the perspective of the people who were actually there. In this dramatic retelling, we glimpse the innermost thoughts and feelings of some of the very common people whose lives were forever changed by a most extraordinary event. What did the shepherds feel? What did others think of them? Were they perceived as “eccentric”? And what about the wise men who followed the star? Did they have an entire entourage, or did people treat them like three dottering old men? And what about Mary and Joseph; how did this unusual pregnancy affect them? They Worshiped Him answers many of these questions while reminding us of the biblical characters’ humanity.
The singing of favorite seasonal carols is woven into the drama, encouraging audience participation. And it’s an adaptable work that can be staged as elaborately or simply as you wish. While there are speaking parts for 12 angels, 5 animals, 6 shepherds, 3 magi, the innkeeper, Mary, Joseph, and a narrator, roles can easily be combined for use with any size congregation. Staging instructions are included.
